Yarn Along: A Squishie Complete

A completed project! And it was a success all around. My first foray into the world of dpns became less and less frustrating with each and every round. In fact, I've already cast this project on again and am going to make the medium-sized squishie. And then the large one. Perhaps with a stripe (now I'm just getting bold!). Silas was also a fan.

He ended up with a lot of seafoam green lint between his fingers. How do babies have this magical ability to gather lint between their fingers and toes? I clean those suckers out with a fair amount of regularity and still he gets all sorts of hair and fiber stuck in those little lint traps.

So, yes, more squishie goodness is on the needles. And for reading, we're on to The Joy of Hobby Farming by Michael and Audrey Levatino. It's more of a manual than a pleasure read, so there's a little bit of skimming going on. But, it's helpful. We're hoping to start looking for The Farm in the next couple of years and there is much to think about in that regard. And I'm still working through The Wonder Weeks. After reading the section that's applicable to Silas, I thought I should read about the developments that we have to look forward to before I take this one back to the library.

I just read your bio and almost feel like I wrote it! I would love to move to some bigger land, a few acres would be lovely with some fields. We made a move for a simpler life last January, from a tiny house block to a half acre in the bush (forest).... but still I am yearning for fields.

Lovely to 'meet' you - your darling baby is beautiful - those days feel so long ago for me, my babes are now 11, 9 and 6.

'The Wonder Weeks' is such an awesome book. It's pretty spot on in terms of the development stages, and it's just so interesting reading about what our little ones are learning.Love your yarn squishie - well done!Ronnie
